SHFCA2023 Hydrogen Scotland on Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 October 2023 brings together delegates from industry and the public sector with invited expert speakers to celebrate the growing hydrogen economy across Scotland.
SHFCA2023 Hydrogen Scotland opens with the Aberdeen Hydrogen Showcase on Wednesday 25 October from 12:30-17:45 at the OGV Taproom. Aberdeen Showcase speakers will give examples of local hydrogen activities in three sessions on themes of Aberdeen experience and lessons learned; Growing local capacity - current activities; and Opportunities - what’s coming next. This Showcase event and the Weds evening civic reception and dinner are all included with the SHFCA2023 Hydrogen Scotland tickets.
Aberdeen is now moving from demonstration projects to larger scale and wider deployment, supported by local initiatives including the Energy Transition Zone adjacent to the new South Harbour and the strategic Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub partnership between bp and Aberdeen City Council. SHFCA2023 will highlight the critical importance of establishing local supply chains and skills with hydrogen as a key part of this clean energy transition.
